Here we are... WD has VGCs back in stock and now I'm afraid to use the BB. Dang it. *holds hat in hand*
I miss Amazon Payments.
ETA: In 2015 I just about maxed out every month.
Why are you afraid to use it? If you are going to get shutdown for using it, might as well ride the wave. Otherwise it is just a worthless card in your drawer. For me personally, I am going to finish the load on the last remaining card I have and then wait out the month. On Feb 1 if I am gtg then I will proceed. Being afraid to use it just wastes opportunity imo. Obviously they have some method that triggers it and from the datapoints we have seen it doesn't take much. My friend only loaded 4k total over the past year and was shutdown. Use it before you lose it ^
